On a whim I took a bath instead of a shower today. Have I caught the gay?
Depends. Where were your eyes pointed?Quote:

Solution: Order a normal burrito, meat of your choice, and when they are done scooping said meat and laying it on your rice, you "spontaneously" ask for double.
I'm going to try it out sometime this week for sure, trip report likely to follow.
Hypothesis: The Chipotle worker will try to keep the second scoop consistent with their first scoop due to a psychology principle that I understand yet don't know the name of.
on sunday Jesse and I went to blue ridge mountains and drove around a little bit. here is a picture that he took of me while we were there.

I think I am quitting my job tomorrow. i hope i am getting laid off, but it looks like I will probably have to quit.
Just read that Alan Turing, one of the most important scientists with regards to understanding and developing modern computing, was prosecuted for having gay sex, this ruined his career, and he committed suicide a couple years later. This was in the 50s
Sickens me
Homophobe!Quote:

If I take the exam and float through the new year trying to get in shape I will miss out.Quote:

From time to time. It has one of the best global warming threads on the internets.
the alan turing thing has been receiving a lot of publicity as of late, trying to spread awareness or something gay like that
There's a campaign looking for a governmental apology for convicting him of homosexuality
I would have figured somebody that cares about you would have advised you to do exactly the opposite of this.Quote:

Which reminds me (sort of), there's a question I've been meaning to ask you.Quote:

What is the evolutionary reasoning or explanation behind homosexuality? It seems like it would be an extraordinary evolutionary disadvantage to be gay, for example MUCH worse than incest (speaking ONLY in biological evolutionary terms).
Yet I've read figures that something like 10% of people are gay (correct me if I'm wrong). What gives? Even if human sexuality can be measured by a scale as opposed to a black and white sort of thing, it really doesn't make any sense, at least within the context of my limited understanding of evolution.
Please advise Mr. Google.
Consider the bonobo:
http://www.primates.com/bonobos/bonobosexsoc.html
he died by eating a poisoned apple. apple's logo was an apple that was rainbow colors (gay). everyone assumes this was apple's tribute to turing but they never confirm that.Quote:

A couple points that he misses, however:
1. Not all genetic traits are selected for by nature; many are 'just along for the ride'. This is because genes are complex, and one mutation could cause several changes in traits, yet if just one of those trait changes increases fitness, the others will be passed on even though they individually have no fitness benefits. This is one of several ways in which we can see traits that don't seem to increase fitness.
2. Leading current research is showing that the genes responsible for homosexuality are also responsible for increased fertility in women. This alone could explain why homosexuality is so proliferate throughout many species. Basically, this kind of gene that increases fertility could make 10% of babies homosexual, but if it increases total reproduction or the fitness of current reproduction by enough, it would increase total fitness and thus be passed on to later generations
Look at it this way: let's say we live under a hypothetical paradigm where the bigger the number, the greater the fitness (i.e. 100 is more fit than 90). Now, let's say that we have ten different genes, each gene is a value of 10 for a total value of 100, but let's say that another member of our species has a mutation that changes his genetic make up to where he no longer has ten genes of 10, but one gene of 4 and nine genes of 11 for a total value of 103. So we have a collective fitness of 100, while this new mutation gives another member of our species a collective fitness of 103. This other member then is more fit than we are, and is more likely to pass on his genes.
But what about that one gene of 4? That gene is ridiculously unfit, right? Yes, but because it is accompanied by the other nine genes of 11, it has 'tagged along for the ride' of a collective genetic makeup of increased fitness. The gene of 4 is essentially homosexuality. Viewed in isolation, homosexuals have very low reproductive fitness, but since the genes that cause homosexuality raise fitness enough in other areas to make the total higher than competition, it gets passed on
3. Another aspect can be that some genes don't express themselves until post-reproduction, and this means that they're never actually selected for. The entire human race could turn homosexual once they hit 60 years old, and it would have little effect on natural selection since all the breeding and passing on of traits happened before the gayness expressed itself.
Here's a disease that illustrates this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatal_familial_insomnia It doesn't show up until later in life, and thus has not been selected out of the gene pool. If it showed up in children it wouldn't have even survived one generation.
Another aspect of this point can be found in society. A lot of gay people have still had children because they have to hide their gayness.
played 5k hands of midstakes so far, then got a massage that was in walking distance. wednesday is good. what are you doing nowQuote:

Thanks wuf, interesting stuff, thanks for the explanation.

I fucking hate social conservatism. Also, this chick gives me a raging hardon since she's both hot and educated. So few women are hot while knowing things about higher academics
hey lukie nothing new really. living in beautiful breckenridge, co grinding alot, sailing hiking and then snowboarding in the winter. do you have a job??
sick burn?Quote:

anyone that still plays poker for money at this point has a problem. I mean gabe has been gambling none stop for YEARS! Ive sent his story into that A&E intervention show like 14 times.
dammit. my wife's best friend and husband are moving tomorrow and my wife OFFERED *our* services to help in said move. fuck that. If I had a top five of things I hate doing, somewhere on that list would be a) moving, and b) helping someone else move. to top it off, her best friend didn't even tell her she was moving, basically because she's a smart girl and knows that it's not fun to move so she wasn't going to ask for any help. my wife found out about it on facebook, called her, and freaking OFFERED *our* services. wtf?
silver lining, if there is one, is that we're going to move within the next 3-5 years, and I'll be damned if they don't help us move. and we have a lot more shit than they do, so......yeah.
Divorce is the only option
That or putting your foot down like you said you do over the *important* stuff
But seriously, just tell her or them that you work for beer and pizza. Makes moving that much easier
I guess I'd be ok with it but 1) college football season starts tomorrow, and 2) my whole weekend is taken up with a wedding/reception Saturday night, then an all day things on both Sunday and Monday.....then back to work. I want to sit on my ass and do nothing for a little while.
Hopefully they're prepared, I've helped people move that don't have everything boxed up when I get there so there's lots of waiting......and that's the worst.
Is your wife's best friend hot?
Yes, very. So much so I had a huge crush on her when I first started dating my wife. I wasn't sure where it was going with my wife at the time, so I was keeping my options open. Anyway, those days are gone. I got to know her, and lets just say she's not a very nice person. One of the only people in the world I have to truly TRY to get along with. They've been friends since they were kids, but I don't know how on earth my wife is still friends with her.Quote:

That sucks George. Having your friends help you move is supposed to be something you do when you're busto and single. By the time you have a family you usually have so much shit that it's just too much work to ask your friends to do.
I think I said it in a thread before but once I paid for movers I never helped anyone move again. For like $1K you can move a full house and just drink and eat with your friends , fuck lifting shit. Spend more time setting up the new place and let the labor do the work.
back from the move, went ok, at least it wasn't hot. they were unprepared and didn't have everything ready to move, so once we were done with the shit that was big and/or boxed up we bounced. buying us lunch on Monday and wasn't too bad of a day, could have been way worse that's for sure!
Yes, we believe you.Quote:

Nbdruno drunk thread thisll do dck hru u
went to a wedding/reception tonight and it was crazy
29 years old and we were right in the middle of everyone there. not young enough to be young, not old enough to be old. good times though.
EDIT: that was stupid and maybe this will be too, but the young people acted their age and the older people (40+) acted like they were 21 again. we were stuck in the middle and partied like rockstars, or something like that.
UG, you are a rockstar, don't forget it
awesomeQuote:

A lot of craziness going on, I'm not quite sure if I'm in a good mood or a bad mood
around 50% of people that drive should have their licences revoked.
and youre included in the "should get their license revoked" group twice over, ducy?Quote:

An Okanagan care home resident with full body paralysis was confined to his bed against his will after his wheelchair was confiscated for a week - all because he smokes medical marijuana to relieve his Multiple Sclerosis.
Those last two should be in the youtube thread, I guess. But what are you gonna do?
Everytime I see somebody do something overly stupid on the road, they are always using their cell phones and most often female.
Somewhat related point: what the hell goes through people's minds when they ride their bike (i.e. bicycle) on busy roads? I don't care if it's legal, it's fucking stupid. If you've ever seen the mangled aftermath of a car on bicycle collision you know what I mean. All it takes is for one drunk or texting idiot to not pay attention for 1 second.
This is even worse. I'm leaving the gym the other day (rah rah rah) and going around a fairly sharp curve to get out of the parking lot, and there's this buffoon of a father with one of those things attached to his bike, pulling his 2 infant kids around. So to get this straight, he's riding his bike on the road, around the corner, his kids are being pulled around in a little mesh compartment with no helmet or protection whatsoever. If a car hits them, they are dead, period.
How is that even fair to me or other drivers on the road? Granted, I pay attention when I drive and drive well. But it's a stupid, unnecessary risk and if I wasn't paying attention for 2 seconds, I'd be looking at very real criminal (2xManslaughter) and civil penalties (all my money).

I totally thought by this you meant a child, was totally fistpumping your awesomeness, but then realized you weren't actually talking about a little barf machineQuote:

I agree with this. Everytime I'm driving and some asshole does something stupid like jaywalk on a busy road, I think about how my life would be ruined if I accidentally hit him. It's not my fault he couldn't walk half a block to a crosswalk, yet I get fucked over because I'm the one that was unfortunate enough to hit him.Quote:
